 aiccu: implement reconnection when interface address changes

 The upstream author originally filed ticket 22872, complaining that
 AICCU should never, ever run under a job manager and just stay alive
 forever. Ryan Schmidt eventually addressed this by disabling said
 startup item.

 In the same bug, however, a user reported that AICCU did, in fact,
 fail under some circumstances; when changing networks. A bit of
 investigation found that the cause of this that on macOS, sockets
 bound to a wildcard UDP port actually get an IP address assigned
 internally. If the computer later switches networks and loses that
 address, all subsequent reads fail with EADDRNOTAVAIL. I've added a
 patch that addresses this by detecting this error and reestablishing
 the connection.

 Under normal circumstances, package maintainers shouldn't fix bugs in
 upstream code, without at the very least having upstream accept the
 fix. However, upstream has effectively abandoned the port; I posted a
 patch to their forum a year ago, and received no reply. Not even from
 the maintainer of the port, so I've taken the liberty of adopting it.

 (Anyway, the port itself is somewhat esoteric: it's for an IPv6
 tunneling service that no longer accepts new sign-ups.)
